OSU Research Office OSU Research Office FY18 ANNUAL REPORT Cynthia Sagers, Vice President for Research OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY | A312 KERR ADMN CORVALLIS OR RO Annual Report FY18 RESEARCH OFFICE MISSION Oregon State University is entrusted to build a future that is smarter, healthier, more prosperous and more just. Research is foundational to that vision. It provides transformational educational experiences for our students, intellectual challenges for our faculty, and a means to broaden our impact through the world. The mission of the Research Office (RO) is to ensure that our research investments are sound, that our researchers are well equipped to advance their fields of study, and that the work of our faculty, students and staff has impacts in Oregon and beyond. RESEARCH OFFICE VISION We envision a research enterprise that is fully integrated into the communities we serve, that is driven by a fundamental quest for knowledge, that inspires creativity and innovation, and that is renowned for delivering outcomes that matter. RESEARCH OFFICE VALUES We welcome opposing opinions, invite a diversity of perspectives, advocate transparency in all aspects of office business, and create a community of care and respect. 1 RO Annual Report FY18 RESEARCH OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT FY18 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND The Research Office (RO) provides an annual report to the President and other university executives to assist with their governance and oversight responsibilities. The RO serves as a key resource to Oregon State University, providing leadership on issues concerning the research enterprise, including research development, commercial activity, research integrity and sponsored programs. The RO Work Plan 2018-2023 is provided in Attachment 1. RO statements of mission, vision and values and staffing details are provided in Attachment 2. Implementation Matrices of strategic initiatives are provided by each business unit in Attachment 3. MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS FOR FY18 Major areas of focus for the RO in FY18 fell into several categories: Business processes – The last decade has been an era of expansion for the institution, with remarkable growth of the research mission. From 2007 to 2017, research awards grew 91%, In 2017, OSU was the single largest recipient of National Science Foundation (NSF) funding, making OSU the largest research university in Oregon for the first time. As the number and size of awards grew, so did federal compliance and reporting requirements. Efforts to update business policies and practices were hampered by the dissolution of the Oregon University System (OUS) and subsequent internal restructuring. In FY16, the RO began substantial improvements in business systems, including electronic reporting, research compliance administration, and development of a RO policy manual. These efforts were informed by external reviews, including evaluations by Baker-Tilly (2014) and NCURA (2017). Infrastructure - Like many public research institutions, OSU researchers are advancing 21st century research agendas in early mid-century facilities. The RO is partnering with the Division of Finance and Administration to develop strategies and tools to improve the quality and availability of research space on and around the Corvallis campus. Projects designed, constructed or acquired in FY18 will yield more than 465,000 sq ft of new and renovated space. Strategic partnerships – In a flat funding environment, the RO is reaching out to partners in business, industry and federal agencies to grow programs, create opportunities for students, and provide stability in areas of research funding. In FY18, RO finalized formal collaborative agreements with Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL), Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), Idaho National Lab (INL), CleanTech Alliance, Department of Energy (DOE), and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). RO is further collaborating with the OSU Foundation to staff a position to accelerate the creation of industry partnerships. Locally, the RO has partnered with the College of Engineering to join the Oregon Manufacturing and Innovation Center (OMIC), positioning OSU to engage with multiple industry partners, while keeping to our core mission. 2 RO Annual Report FY18 Innovation and entrepreneurship - OSU’s Advantage Accelerator is recognized as the most mature university accelerator in Oregon. FY18 saw Advantage staff take the lead in expanding university commercialization activity statewide. Business Oregon and the remaining public institutions of higher education have become valuable partners in this initiative. In tandem, the legislative affairs committee (LAC) of each campus is working closely with the Senior Research Officer Council (SROC), chaired by VPR Sagers, to submit a $17.3MM request to the legislature in the next biennium for programmatic support. In addition, the RO partnered with the College of Engineering to join the Oregon Manufacturing and Innovation Center, positioning OSU to engage with multiple industry partners, while keeping to our core mission. Reputation - OSU is home to globally-ranked programs in forestry, engineering and earth sciences. OSU boasts excellent research productivity as gauged by number and quality of publications, size and continuity of research awards, and impacts through invention and commercialization. Recognition of OSU as a leading research institution reaches just beyond the Cascades, however. The RO is designing strategy to advance the national and global reputation for OSU research and has made substantial gains in recent weeks. RO’s initial attempt to garner national recognition for faculty excellences was successful when Dr. Jane Lubchenco was recognized by the National Science Foundation as its 2018 recipient of the Vannevar Bush Award. Each of these categories is described in more detail in subsequent pages. 3 RO Annual Report FY18 RO LEADERSHIP Cynthia Sagers has served as the Vice President for Research at Oregon State University since August 31, 2015. As Vice President, Sagers provides leadership to OSU’s vast research enterprise, which last year brought in $382 million in research grants and contracts in areas including agriculture, forestry, marine sciences, public health, and engineering.

Joining OSU in 2015, she has marshalled steady growth of the research enterprise, including three successive years of record research awards. She currently serves on a number of advisory boards for research and economic development entities in the region. Staci L. Simonich is OSU’s Associate Vice President for Research and Professor of Chemistry and Environmental & Molecular Toxicology.
